Abstract

China is a neighboring major country of India. Many scholars have consistently emphasized in their papers that India regards China as its biggest military threat. If this viewpoint is fair, then India’s military defense will inevitably be influenced by China. In other words, the military defense of China and India should be highly correlated. National defense and military can be measured by two indicators: weapon throughput and the proportion of military expenditure to domestic GDP. According to the dimensionless operation and entropy weight method in quantitative analysis, the weights of two indicators can be obtained and their correlation can be analyzed. After quantitative analysis, there is a weak correlation between the military defense of China and India. So, it can be concluded that India does not fully consider China as the main military threat.
